Actors with the "cool" factor.
 

Ok, this is not about sheer beauty, post pics of actors/actresses that have something "special" going on.. I'll start with an easy call


and a couple of my favs, peter stormare





and ron perlman. No, he's not will ferrel nor tom waits.

samuel l jackson is pretty cool
edward norton
jack nicholson even after all these years.

The one and only:

jeff goldblum

late bill murray

frances mcdormand

Christopher Walken...

...even when he's doing this:

jack!

john turturro

younger Martin Sheen



Tim Roth (I miss when I was able to do my hair like his in this photo)



Ioan Gruffudd.... when he isn't in shitty movies like Fantastic Four and Arthur

David Thewlis


Vincent Cassel

steve mcqueen, kids...the fact that he hasnt been mentioned yet is disheartening.

bacall


the goddess that some call lana turner (x2)

giovanni ribisi

I was thinking mainly to "contemporary" actors because back in the days (40s-50s) almost every single actor had the cool factor going on.

Hattie McDaniel

Damn I was going to say that.

I've never got the whole dennis hooper thing. an interesting bloke but always thought he tried a bit too hard to cultivate his own cult-of-weirdness on-screen.

both these guys! I prefer the one on the left, but in this particular movie and a couple others the one on the right is pretty damn cool too.

Mary Woronov




Anita Pallenberg

And in this, the one on the right and the one on the left are even better:

Absolutely

Hitomi Hyuga

garl oldman

And if Dennis Hopper perplexes me, Gary Oldman i'll NEVER get.

gene hackman.

seconded, I was looking for a couple pics right before you posted it..

What? Too cool for you, eh?

Remembering that the thread's title includes the word 'cool' in it, how can we avoid:

jt walsh

His bro's cool too.

God, i so wish they'd made a film in the sixties that involved Charlotte Rampling, Anita Pallenberg and Mary Woronov in a lesbian love triangle. but as the man with big lips once said:

"You can't always get what you want."

Kevin Spacey, bitches:

Wasn't the term cool coined to describe her?

I'm not sure if he comes across as cool. I've seen him many times in the flesh and he looks a bit sad, more than cool.

definitely.
The word godess was used for the first time too!

Mr Blonde in Reservoir Dogs

you really like Michael Madsen, don't ya? (see the bad guys' thread)

David Patrick Kelly in Dreamscape (1984), Twin Peaks (1990), etc.


Romy Schneider & Alain Delon. Especially in La Piscina (1969).


Williem Dafoe in Wild at heart (1990), Animal Factory (2000) and many more.


Crispin Glover in Dead Man (1995), River's Edge (1986), Wild at Heart (1990), Willard (2003) etc.
